Detail 01
.674 inch cup diameter
Small end of the Standard line. Less lip inside the rim, so endurance comes easier, but big low notes take more work.

SchilkeStandard Series Trumpet Mouthpiece in Silver Group II 15B Silver
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Schilke's 15B in silver plate: the small .674-inch model 15 rim with a brighter B cup. For players wanting more edge without a bigger diameter.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players happy with a 15 rim but wanting more brilliance
- Small-group and commercial work needing the line to cut
- Doublers keeping rim size consistent across a few cups
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Orchestral players chasing a dark, wide symphonic sound
- Anyone whose low register already feels thin and unsupported
- Players who need a large-diameter rim for volume
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
B cup instead of the standard 15
Same diameter, shallower cup. You change the tone toward brilliance without relearning a new rim size.
Detail 03
Brighter, more brilliant sound
Less cup volume means more high overtones and projection, and less of the round warmth a deeper cup gives you.
Detail 04
26 throat
The standard throat across the Schilke line. Blows like most of the family, so there's no new resistance to adapt to.
Detail 05
Silver plating
Same model dimensions as the gold-plated Group II pieces, at roughly a third of the price.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Sold as the mouthpiece by itself. Budget for a pouch and cleaning brush.
- 02Silver plate shows tarnish. Wipe it down after playing to keep it clean.
- 03Give it a few weeks before judging. A cup change moves your ear first.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How is the 15B different from the plain 15?
Identical .674-inch cup diameter and 26 throat. The 15B swaps in a B-style cup, which is shallower and produces a more brilliant sound than the standard 15.
02Is this a good first mouthpiece?
It's a narrow, bright-leaning piece. A beginner is usually better served by a medium diameter with a deeper cup while the embouchure is still forming.
03Why is this so much cheaper than the gold Schilke pieces?
Plating. Silver-plated Standard Series pieces run well under the gold Group II versions; the cup, rim and throat dimensions are what define the model.
04Will it help my high notes?
The shallower B cup and small diameter make the upper register easier to reach. It won't replace air support or practice, and the low register gives up some body.
